Internal Developer Portals (IDPs) are no longer just an experimental concept—they’re now a foundational component of modern software delivery. As engineering organizations look to reduce cognitive load, increase self-service, and streamline infrastructure workflows, IDPs have emerged as the most effective way to productize platform engineering.

In a distributed system, things break in unexpected ways. That’s why observability isn’t optional—it’s how you understand what’s going on under the hood. If you’re comparing tools to instrument your services, OpenTelemetry and Micrometer are two names you’ll run into. Both are used to collect metrics, but they take very different approaches—especially when it comes to flexibility, vendor support, and what you can do with the data.

We recently explored what the cloud is and how it has evolved over 60 years. Yet, cloud computingWe recently explored the cloud and how it has evolved over 60 years. Yet, cloud computing emerged into what it is today in 2002, when Amazon, the e-commerce giant, sought a more efficient way to expand its online marketplace. So, it is unsurprising that the company’s cloud services subsidiary (AWS), which launched in 2006, is today’s largest Cloud Service Provider (CSP).

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, ensuring the reliability and performance of your applications is paramount. Heroku, a cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), simplifies application deployment and scaling. However, to fully leverage Heroku's capabilities, effective monitoring is essential. This guide delves into best practices for monitoring Heroku applications, providing context, practical steps, and unique insights to enhance your observability strategy.

A critical vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver (CVE-2025-31324) is currently being exploited in the wild. Disclosed on April 24, 2025, this vulnerability has the highest possible CVSS score of 10.0, indicating severe risk. The vulnerability affects SAP NetWeaver Application Server Java's Visual Composer Framework (version 7.50), allowing unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to NetWeaver servers. This can lead to remote code execution and complete system compromise.

When I’m on the train to work in the morning, I always reach for my noise-cancelling headphones. Not because the world is too loud, but because I want to hear what matters. It’s a small act of filtering signal from noise. And this got me thinking that, increasingly, that same mindset is becoming essential in how we design and manage digital infrastructure. There’s no shortage of data. In fact, there’s too much of it.

At Qovery, our goal is simple: eliminate the grunt work of DevOps. The idea of an assistant that can understand developer intent and autonomously take action on infrastructure has always felt like the holy grail. In February 2025, we started building that assistant - our DevOps Copilot. Today, our Agentic DevOps Copilot is live in Alpha. It helps developers automate deployments, optimize infrastructure, and answer advanced configuration questions. But getting here took multiple iterations.
